Why are you deleting them?

Are you talking to me or MAGNEDETH? Because it is him who is deleting them. They are being deleted because they are not available without cheating devices, and are considered not notable. --SnorlaxMonster 05:08, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

oh well that stinks cuz i just got all the ones glitch Pokémon( that dont freeze)that were on there and i was talkin to snorlax. --shinyditto 9:18, Nov 1st (UTC)

OK. Well it wasn't my decision to delete them, but I do agree with it. The general consensus was that articles on cheat-exclusive Pokémon are non-notable. Most of them were stubs, requiring cleanup, incomplete or a combination of. There are other websites out there devoted to Pokémon Glitches (such as Glitch City) if you want the information, and one of our users plans to combine all of the cheat-exclusive articles into one (unfortunately I can't give you a link now, but if you look around you might find it), but it is still a work in progress. Also, please start a new topic next time. --SnorlaxMonster 06:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes. See Talk:List of glitch types. He said "I agree with the Gameshark-only Generation I Glitch Pokémon not being notable. That was actually my stance from the start, really." Also, you're better off asking him. And please, don't incessantly edit my talk page, I get an email every time you do. --SnorlaxMonster 06:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

That's OK, you changed it back anyway, so I don't care. You just should have brought it up on the talk page first, but I really don't care. --SnorlaxMonster 01:36, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Userspace template

Unless I'm misinterpreting your edit summary, you are mistaken. You can transclude any userspace page like a template by typing {{User:Pagename/Subpagename|param|param|param...}}, just as you would for a template. Test out that glitch thing on the subpage's talkpage, okay? —darklordtrom 08:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Well either I broke the template, or it dosn't work like that. See the talk page. --SnorlaxMonster 11:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Template:Delete

Check out the instructions on the bottom. Next time you use this template, refrain from removing the content and just put the template at the top. It can be helpful to administrators to see what was on the page before it is deleted. —darklordtrom 10:06, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Mainspace talk archives

Just a heads up, archival of talk pages for mainspace articles should be handled by an administrator. - Kogoro|Talk to me - 10:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

About stuff

You shouldn't need all those extra color redirects. The template should be set up so that it uses the regular glitch color template and doesn't make a whole lot of stupid redlinks. I did one of these fixes last night, feel free to learn from the edit.

Yes, I see what you did on Five question marks, but for some reason it still uses B color (seen in used templates) and other glitch colors (Glitch and 'l) m) ZM) despite what you did. So it does remove the need for Glitch color light etc., but the rest of the redirects still appear to be needed. As for number 2, thanks for that link. --SnorlaxMonster 10:40, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

All fixed. That template should no longer be a problem, unless anyone wants anything added to it... —darklordtrom 10:53, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

OK, I think I can find all the color redirects like that if you want. One thing is that B links to List of glitch types#B when no link is selected, but 'l) m) ZM links to Glitch#Glitch types. Can you fix it so they all do the first one?--SnorlaxMonster 10:57, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

OK, one major problem is that the evolution template doesn't have the same disptype variable built into it. If that were to be included, I could clear out lots more unused type color redirects. Another problem is learnset boxes, but I don't know how that would work. --SnorlaxMonster 11:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll sort that later. If I leave it too long, then I've forgotten and you should remind me. It's not too hard. —darklordtrom 11:17, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Old discussions

Thanks for telling me, sorry if I am answering old discussions. I am just bored. ( and yes, i used the preview button ) -- User:Sporeo45

Breaking the fourth wall

Hi, when you removed the section on game freak employees in Celadon mansion from the Breaking the fourth wall article, you cited that "Gamefreak has other games". What exactly do you mean by this? In what way are these characters not an example of breaking the fourth wall? (I'm sure you have valid reasons I just would like to understand them myself.) Thank you for your time.--Beligaronia (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it's hard to fit a lot into an edit summary. It's because despite the fact that game freak exists in the Pokémon games, doesn't meant that they are saying "We designed this universe" or anything directly meaning that they are in a game. It is only breaking the fourth wall if something acknowledges the fact that the world they are in is not reality. Gamefreak could produce games other than Pokémon in the Pokémon world.--SnorlaxMonster 07:14, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

In FRLG one of the NPCs in celadon mansion says "I drew you" indicating that they are indeed the game developers who created this game universe. Their quotes are:

"I'm the graphic artist! I drew you!"

"I wrote the story! Isn't Erika cute! I like Misty a lot, too! Oh, and Sabrina, I like her!"

interwiki links

I'm just redirecting all the SSB characters, because people could be looking for those, but we aren't supposed to have pages on them, so I made a whole bunch of redirects. If this isn't OK, let me know and I'll stop. --SnorlaxMonster 13:38, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi

This concerns your recent edit on Mew_glitch.
Thankyou for editing that. I also did not know the words to put it into, but I knew that had to be changed.
Thankyou.OwnageMuch 09:28, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

About Poochyena and Larvitar

Yes they can. My slowbro knows water pulse and avalanche. and was the father of my larvitar.
My sceptile was the father of my seviper and seviper learned dragon claw as an egg move because sceptile learned it from a tm. it was then passed on to poochyena when i tried to get one that knew poison fang. if you dont believe me then try it.
Blahness15 18:04, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

I'll test it, but how would Seviper learn Dragon Claw? It has no claws. Also, other reliable Pokémon fansites disagree with you about Seviper, Poochyena and Larvitar. --SnorlaxMonster 08:04, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

And just tested that too. Slowbro cannot pass Water Pulse and Avalanche on to Larvitar. Next time, please check your facts before inserting them into articles. --SnorlaxMonster 13:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm playing SoulSilver, what about you? And Seviper may be using its tail for the attack.
You are very quickly getting dangerously close to being on my 'people who I don't like' list, Captain know-it-all. I'll get the pics ready.Blahness15 23:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I used Diamond. None of those moves could be learned. As for Seviper, its tail is not a claw. I was hoping it was DPPt, because now I have to try again as HGSS do have different egg moves (but only a few). And while I still do want to see screenshots, they don't prove anything. --SnorlaxMonster 07:01, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Redirects

I'm making the pages now. Should I have waited? --SnorlaxMonster 12:06, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it makes sense to do it after the page is created, lest someone like I misunderstands. Turtwig'sA-B-Cs (talk | contribs) 12:09, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

In some cases I can see it being fine to do. Generally a bad idea, lest they be forgotten, but meh. TTEchidna 03:37, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Yikes

Could I ask for some more template help? The MS code you gave me worked like a charm... but I'm now told that the use of #ifexist is causing phantom entries to appear in Wanted Pages (a known bug, from what I can gather). I'm guessing there's a way around this, but it's way beyond my questionable skills? Can you give me a hand? Bikini Miltank 15:27, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

So we can't use #ifexist? That's annoying, it's so useful. I don't actually see the phantom pages that are on wanted pages that are supposed to be caused by this glitch. I wonder if there is a MediaWiki patch to fix it, or if Bulbapedia's functions caused this. Now, to fix it, I guess switches will be necessary; I'll try to fix it. If you do need some help, I generally use mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions or mw:Help:Magic words for some code (that's how I found out about #ifexist). --SnorlaxMonster 13:39, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Moving userpages

As mentioned on Sol's talk page, please don't do it. If it's going to be moved into the mainspace, there is no point of moving it beforehand in the userspace. Please remember the userspace policy next time. Thanks. —♥Jellotalk 10:54, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Multiple Edits

The reason I do that is because my browser is known to crash at random times, and I didn't want to lose all that information. But I'll try use preview a little more often just for you. Koolboyman 16:55, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Deleting pages

Handy tip - if you have lots of pages to be deleted, simply list them on an administrator's talk page. Even when the page is deleted, every edit is still logged, and given that adding the template categorises the page, it can sometimes be strenuous on the server for so many edits to be made in succession. It'll probably also be faster this way. —darklordtrom 11:00, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, while you're here, just about every Trainer class article will now need a talk redirect deletion. Now that I think about it, same goes for the the Routes. Is there some kind of MediaWiki patch which allows the moving of pages without creating talk redirects? Because I don't think that we ever want them. --SnorlaxMonster 11:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Not that I know of. You can suppress the redirect of the whole thing, or none at all. I'm going to head off now so I won't go through and search for pages to be deleted. If you can list them for me (or whoever finds them first) that'd be swell. —darklordtrom 12:02, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Officially?

Just because other article states something, it doesn't have to mean that it's true. Please refrain for using Bulbapedia as a source for itself. It's really annoying (not saying that you're wrong in this case, I'm not sure about this). --Maxim 12:46, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

There is a link to an official source on that page. Here. I was linking indirectly to keep the edit summary short. --SnorlaxMonster 12:48, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Nitro Charge

Thank you for helping with my Nitro Charge page, I really don't know how to write Japanese text. Thanks--KayKay|Chat to me! 09:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I copy/pasted it from Umeko's page. Although I do know how to type Japanese text and can explain how if you want. --SnorlaxMonster 09:34, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh that would be great thanks, though could you do it on my talk page?--KayKay|Chat to me! 09:36, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

No seriously, could you tell me on my talk page? To get to it all you have to do is press the Chat to me! button and take it from the bottom, though I think You'd already know.--KayKay|Chat to me! 10:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh ok though I don't have windows sooo yeah I think i would just get other people to type in Japanese--KayKay|Chat to me! 06:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, you really shouldn't break up discussions between two pages. They should be kept on one person's talk page. --SnorlaxMonster 08:08, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh right, I see because then it would be less confusing. I get it. Sorry.--KayKay|Chat to me! 08:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

PK, MN

How often would they be used separately? I'm kinda iffy on them. —darklordtrom 12:26, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking of only one situation where they would be (to do with glitch characters in names). But the main problem is that {{Pkmn}} already exists, and is widely used. There is most likely a better way to do it, but this does work. --SnorlaxMonster 12:28, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

If there's only one scenario then it's not really worth creating a template for. Template names are case-sensitive, so Template:PKMN could actually be something from Template:Pkmn. —darklordtrom 12:31, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

We could, and I had thought about it, but that might be a bit confusing, although I'm not opposed to it. And this one situation does spread across about 3 pages mentioning the same thing (Old man glitch, Glitch Trainer, Professor Oak). However, these could simply be left the way they are (and I would support it). --SnorlaxMonster 12:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Well yeah hardcoding's an option (as that's what we've been doing previously). Could also add switch statements or put the characters onto the palette ↓down there↓ for ease of use... —darklordtrom 13:07, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps if the template is left without parameters it displays PKMN, but if it has parameters specified, it works as normal? --SnorlaxMonster 06:46, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

If no parameters are inputted then it displays PKMN; if {{{1}}}=PK then it displays PK; if {{{2}}}=MN then it displays MN? —darklordtrom 07:02, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

No, I'm saying integrate it into {{pkmn}} so that if there are no parameters it displays PKMN, but if any parameters are specified it displays as Template:pkmn normally would. --SnorlaxMonster 07:04, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

While that probably wouldn't break stuff... I don't know if having one template do two things is entirely advisable. —darklordtrom 07:10, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, if it is noted on the page... but I do see the problem with a double use template. However, one should only be used as {{PKMN}} while the other {{pkmn}}. I would almost suggest moving the other one if it was so widely used. How about we put it at Template:PKMN3 (for my template, not the old one)? --SnorlaxMonster 07:15, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Oceanic Museum

After your change, the layout box is now almost XBOX HUGE and all that black in it looks horrible. I honestly don't see any reason why the page can't be done in the same style as the one about Mossdeep Space Center and many other location pages.

Saving images

It seems that you accidentally are limiting the palette colors when saving images. If you are using OptiPNG, use the "RGB with Alpha" option instead.--immewnitythemew 16:51, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm using Paint.net. Everything is set to the default, except that I changed to transperancy threshold from 0 to 255. I don't know how to set it to what you suggested. --SnorlaxMonster 01:48, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Soft Redirects?

Sorry to sound like a n00b, but.. what exactly is one? --SilverCrono 03:50, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

It kinda already says on the page. "Note: This soft redirect exists to avoid revealing a critical plot twist without warning." Scroll to the bottom of the page and you can click the redirect button to go to the page. Same goes for things like Masked Man. The page actually wasn't set out correctly before, the redirect button should be at the top of the page. --SnorlaxMonster 04:52, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Moves

It's to do with how the data has been dumped: there are a few irregular capitalisations. I'm trying to catch them as I add them, but I do miss a few here and there. As for moves like Spit Up and Fissure having 1 base power... I think that's just how it is in the game data. These aren't the final versions of the movesets (we'll have to figure out if/how they work in Musicals) and so at the moment I'm just trying to get the raw data up. Bikini Miltank 09:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey

Yeah, that was only happening because of the {{NewPokémon}} template, which I see you've fixed. --SnorlaxMonster 05:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey you

Yeah you, the one with the breaking of the Pokémon infobox. Fix it! MaverickNate 05:09, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Looks like Sol got it. I was thinking it was one of those things that the server takes a little while to fix on all the pages, but it was actually because I accidentally put an enter in. --SnorlaxMonster 05:38, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

DL link

Since you said to discuss on your talk page, where is it said that items should be linked without {{DL}}? Some items share names with trainer classes and other things, and would require it to be linked that way. It's Turtwig A! My talk or wiki edits 21:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I think the only item in that situation is Metronome, which could be linked to that way, or as {{OBP|Metronome|item}}. The main problem with section links is if that section gets split off into its own article, or it gets renamed.

Case A: When the Master Ball was given its own page, many links still lead to Master Ball. This is probably still the case, and it is very difficult to fix as there is no "WhatLinksHere" for section links. Links which lead to what was the redirect Master Ball didn't need to be fixed.

The main thing is, redirects to sections are fine. That is why if I want to link to the glitch move TM47, I would use {{m|TM47}} instead of {{DL|List of glitch moves|TM47}}. --SnorlaxMonster 02:30, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah...

Okay then. Pity that the other towns don't appear in the credits too. --Maxim 15:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

B óË ÁN

Or just simply move it to "FireRed / LeafGreen glitch Pokémon", although with it being legitimate one way and not the other pushes me towards moving it too.

Make sure to have a redirect though. OwnageMuch 09:51, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

B óË ÁN was just the first name discovered. If we can get an index number for the thing we could move it to Glitch (INDEX NUMBER). But the only legitmate encounter uses óË {e Ái so we should use that, at least for now. Besides, the page needs cleanup. --SnorlaxMonster 10:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Vandal edits

They are only hidden if they are offensive. MaverickNate 16:14, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah, OK. I thought it was all vandal edits, so that only constructive edits to the page were in the history. --SnorlaxMonster 16:15, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Ahhh!!

OK, thanks. It looked like a typo. --SnorlaxMonster 03:17, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I kind of worried people would think it was a mistake... I thought about putting in hidden text saying that was how it's displayed in the Browser but I decided against it. ^^' sorry for the trouble haha --ZestyCactus 03:19, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes. Or at the very least, a summary screen showing their own moves. --SnorlaxMonster 02:48, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Kyurem

Someone already re-added it, but I just wanted to explain my justification for its ice type representing an absence of energy. It parallels the Wuji symbolism, in that it can represent the absence of Yin and Yang (Reshi and Zekki's basis), or the absence of energy (Reshi and Zekki's fire and electricity). I understand the fire-ice-lightning parallels, but in this case it seems to have additional symbolism, with Kyurem appearing to be a sort of mediating force or happy medium between Reshiram and Zekrom, akin to Rayquaza's negating effects on Groudon and Kyogre. --AndyPKMN 12:25, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I can see how ice is the lack of fire (heat), but not how it is the lack of electricity. --SnorlaxMonster 12:32, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Reference

Hey, you mentioned on my talk that Pokemon names are singular and plural (no s). OK, thanks, but where did I make that error? - unsigned comment from Jdthebud (talk • contribs)

Here. It's 6 days old, but I just noticed it and I'm behind on my watchlist. Also, it's better to reply on the same talk page so you don't break up discussions. --SnorlaxMonster 08:58, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

"Base stats" - How base stats of ????? are calculated? Do they are stats at lvl 5 (or 1) or what? (I checked a ????? FE version lvl1 stats on Crystal and they were 6 attack, 6 defense, 7 special attack, 8 special defense and 7 speed) Marked +-+-+ 13:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Base stats aren't stats at any particular level. They are the base numbers used in the calculations. For more info, see base stats (which the template should link to). --SnorlaxMonster 23:42, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Sinnoh Route 214

Can you check it over what you added? I'm not sure if you made the errors in both the description and in-game text. If the errors are meant to be, you could mention it under the trivia. ht14 00:39, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

I just checked it, and it seems to match perfectly. What was the error you were talking about? --SnorlaxMonster 00:43, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Under route description: The road joining Veilstone City and a lake is described as either "widly natural" or simply "a mess." Under the map description: The road joining Veilstone City and the like is described as either "wildly natural" or simply "a mess". It's "wildly natural", and it's describing a lake, no? ht14 00:48, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, mine is correct. The " is after the . and it's a lake not the lake. I checked both Diamond and Platinum and they both say this. --SnorlaxMonster 00:51, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Hold on, lemme italicize what I'm talking about. If it's right, then fine. As I said, if there are errors, then whatever is trivia-worthy, yeah. ht14 00:55, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah, its wildly not widely too. And they don't seem to be errors worthy of trivia either—the whole thing seems to be error free (at least now) to me. --SnorlaxMonster 00:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Unique base stat total trivia

I put down the Moroboraeu unique BST trivia by using another page as a guide: Rhyperior. There's three points of trivia there regarding his stats. In fact, that trivia point I pasted almost-verbatim from there and I have seen other Pokemon pages with trivia about statistics (Shuckle for instance). Should those be removed as well, then? --Chicobo329 20:15, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh wait, you mean like trivia that says 'this is the only Pokemon with a base stat total of n'? Is it okay to give trivia points if the Pokemon has the highest base stat of its type (like highest or lowest HP)?--Chicobo329 20:22, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it's fine to have "this Pokémon has the highest Stat of all ???-type Pokémon", I even left that piece of trivia there. What it is not okay to do is add "This Pokémon is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of XXX". I didn't remove our edit at all. If you see any unique base stat total trivia around, please delete it. --SnorlaxMonster 01:15, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

who said that trivia wasnt ok? -- MAGNEDETH 17:45, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

It was in an edit summary somewhere, but even though I tried, I can't look through all of the pages of Pokémon with unique base stat totals to find it. The best I've been able to find is an edit summary from sol. But really, there are way too may Pokémon with unique base stat totals to be listing that in the trivia anyway. However, a category might be a good idea. --SnorlaxMonster 00:33, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I would happily generate that table, by the way. ^_^ Still, if I did that, it'd create a bit of work removing the trivia from each Pokémon, though the task would be significantly less burdensome with a reference table. *waits for the green light from an admin* «hexagonTHEORY» 18:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Let's see how many Pokémon have unique BSTs before we decide anything. Generate away! —darklordtrom 20:39, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

While everyone's here, I could add something to the base stat template using PAGESINCAT to auto categorize all UBST Pokémon. If we don't want it as a visible category yet, we can always use hiddencat. --SnorlaxMonster 07:31, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Evolution and Dream World abilities

I'm asking this here because I haven't gotten a response on Talk:Pokémon Dream World. A recent edit summary of yours stated that Daruma Mode Hihidaruma "can't have evolved". But what happens when a Darumakka with the ability Inner Focus (also obtained from the Dream World) evolves? Does the ability revert to Hihidaruma's standard ability (Brute Force), or does the Darumakka evolve into a Hihidaruma with Daruma mode? --AndyPKMN 12:08, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Actually, that's a good question. I think that Dream World Daruma lose their Dream World ability, but now that I think about it, they might actually change like the other abilities. I need someone with BW to confirm this for me. --SnorlaxMonster 07:06, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I think that's done. I removed "Pokémon" from Puzzle Collection Petit since the game refers to it without "Pokémon" in the title too, possibly for brevity. If that was wrong, I apologise... Unfortunately, I can't confirm it's only based on Puzzle Collection as I don't have a Mini, but if it helps, the puzzles playable are:

The fact that I have neither a Pokémon mini nor Pokémon Channel doesn't help. The first two match up with what's on the page, the third one I can't find much info about. --SnorlaxMonster 13:52, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Help with FA updating

I've searched around Bulbapedia for a while looking for this information but I couldn't find it so I decided to ask a Junior Admin. In 2 days (November 9th) it will be a month since I nominated the Pikachu article as a FA candidate. The last time I checked (a few minutes ago) there were 20 votes in favor of the FA status and only 3 objecting. I need to know if I need to do anything as far as making it official that it is a FA like updating the list of FAs. Do I do this or does an admin do it? If I do need to do something then I think there should be a page describing the process just like there is a page describing the nominating process. Thank you for any info you can give me.--Alex726contributions 19:28, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Alex and SnorlaxMonster. If an article attains more than 50% supportive votes, then the Editorial Board will discuss it over. Promoting an article to featured status is not just about the number of votes - but how strong the arguments for and against are. Typically electAbuzzzz runs this section of the site but since he's away at the moment he's left me in charge... Great, more stuff for me to run...

Redirecting to articles about species

Hi! I don't know who has invented this idea, but it's just perfect. At last I don't have to go through disambiguation page if I just want to check stats or a movepool. If you know who has changed this, let me know because I want to thank him/her for saving my time.

Hi Mikolaj. As you can see in the sitenotice (the bar at the top of your screen), the five or so Pokémon that have the "new" setup are examples relating to the current poll on the forums. We won't be moving any pages for a while. —darklordtrom 01:32, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, quite a few people have suggested it, but now the staff decided to see what people think again, so there is no one individual to thank. --SnorlaxMonster 10:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Glitch egg talk

"As for a good name, I would suggest "GSCGlitch254 Dex.gif"." - why 254? Egg is under 253 from what I know. Marked +-+-+ 18:06, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. Yeah 253 would be a better name then. --SnorlaxMonster 01:16, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Just so you know, Junior Admins can't lock pages or put users in the abuse group, so even if I had seen that message in time, I couldn't have been able to do anything. --SnorlaxMonster 10:49, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll remember that next time. Also this is completely unrelated but I've been working with a lot of codes lately, and I looked at your random template's code, it looks like it's meant to say 'This template was made by SnorlaxMonster' when used outside of your userspace. It doesn't seem to do that though (when using the preview button, unless you have to save for it to show), I know how to fix it if you want? Pikiwyntalk 21:47, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I found the problem. I was using BASEPAGENAME but I left User: at the start. Also I had the positive and negative results backwards. --SnorlaxMonster 07:31, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Headbutting without the National Dex in Kanto?

This has been bugging me for a few days, and the statement you left on AquaDragon's talk page indicates that you're the one to blame. In the lists of catchable Pokémon in Generation IV for most Kanto locations (except routes 26-28 and the Pokémon League, which should be ignored for the puposes of this post), the Pokémon obtainable with Headbutt have a subsection labelled "Post-National Pokédex", and "special tree" Pokémon even come with a note that they won't appear without the NatDex. My question is thus: How do you even get to those locations without obtaining the National Pokédex in the first place? In HGSS, you can't get anywhere in Kanto beyond the Pokémon League without bording the S.S. Aqua at least once, and Prof. Oak forces the National Dex upgrade on you the first time you try to board the ship. If the only way to get there without the NatDex is via hacking and the game refuses to cough up a Wurmple to cheaters, I think that should be addressed with at most a note on the Headbutt page rather than adding almost completely redundant and/or useless notes to pages that make users do double-takes. If there is a legitimate way to reach, say, Pewter City in HGSS without the NatDex, I'd like to hear it. --Minimiscience 05:26, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I actually kinda wondered that myself when Aquadragon started adding Post-National Pokédex, but I forgot that you were forced to upgrade upon traveling to Kanto (other than Routes 26 and 27, Tohjo Falls, Victory Road, and Indigo Plateau). I'll ask Aquadragon, as there may be some reason for this. --SnorlaxMonster 05:55, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

My apologies, I don't think it was SnorlaxMonster's fault. My original intention was to update all the lists of catchable Pokémon with a Headbutt section (as the mechanics differ from Gen II and Pokémon appear by location) and to try to achieve a style of consistency across the tables. As such, I would probably have overlooked certain details.

While I do agree that you cannot go past the Kanto region beyond r22 without getting the NatDex upgrade, I was thinking more about the categorization of Pokémon: theoretically Pokémon after #256 is not in the JohtoDex, so they wont appear until you've obtained the NatDex (this part is true for the Johto region, e.g. Taillow). But since, as you've pointed out, there is no way to prove which Pokémon will appear in Kanto before or after obtaining the NatDex (because it is needed to go there in the first place), thus "Post-National Pokédex" in Kanto would be misleading...

So I guess I'll probably have to reorganise the Kanto tables to reflect that. The special tree part is more or less accurate; some Pokémon like Starly only appear in one or two trees. :) ---> AquaDragon 17:12, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Nothing huge

But the File: prefix is preferred to Image:. It's not huge enough to go about solely changing the namespace around to the more modern version (Image: came with the really old Mediawikis; we're better than that now), but it's something to keep in mind when you're just editing.

I know that and usually change it to File: from Image: when I see it (but I don't edit an article just to change it, only when I'm already editing it). Anything I did to do the opposite was purely a mistake. Can you direct me to the instance you are referring to? --SnorlaxMonster 11:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah OK. When I checked my contribs I thought that might be the case. I was actually moving the image from elsewhere in the article and missed that it was using Image: instead of File:. I will probably find an excuse to edit it so I can change that. --SnorlaxMonster 12:27, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I could theoretically merge the two talk pages, but I think that's a little more effort than the situation really warrants. At any rate, having the two pages clearly defines which page the separate discussions are from and keeps the contribution history intact. Thanks for merging though. About time it got done. —darklordtrom 11:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Lid and Wing Fossils

If I knew yesterday that Lid Fossil is Futanokaseki, it would save me at least 10 hours of my life (of my gaming). Therefore, I want to be shown at Lid Fossil is Futanokaseki. Do you understand? Now this information is necessary to look at other sites than bulbagarden and it is a pity. Please note that Pokémon Black & White is only in Japanese. What does every other??? --Issus 11:05, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Futanokaseki is just the romanisation (so if you were to say the Japanese name, that's how it would sound). It doesn't look nice having the romanisation unless it's official, so there are a few things you can do if you want to know the romanisation of Japanese text. You can learn kana (the most tedious one), or you can probably find a tool online. If you can't find one, I can get you one. Alternately, asking somebody over at the forums should do the trick too. --SnorlaxMonster 11:13, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

You don't me understand me. I want only have at bulbapedia the information: lid fossil is Futanokaseki. That's all. --Issus 11:24, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, it is, but that's just the romanisation. I can create redirects from them if you want. --SnorlaxMonster 11:25, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Super, that's idea. Thank you. Please same with Hanenokaseki. Have a good lunch!!! --Issus 11:29, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Gym Leader Intros

I strongly disagree. The old intros sound terrible. Poor phrasing, poor grammar, et cetera. It may not be what you're used to, but what I'm changing things to says the same things and at least uses proper English. - The Pokémon Master 19:37, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Question

Since TTEchidna left who would be the next best admin to go to about a problem with this template? Pikiwyntalk 23:16, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Do you mean who is skilled at templates? I would think Werdnae or Jello* would be a good admin to ask, but I've seen MisterE13 do some complicated stuff too. --SnorlaxMonster 23:21, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

About the N Wiki logo

Hearing that you like the old logo better from the image page, I'll clarify what happened. I had to replace the old logo with the new logo because it was a placeholder I drew out. When I drew out the first logo, and gave it to someone who will finalize this. It didn't look pretty good as I imagined (and that thing is drawn around May!) So I cooked up a new one the day before Nintendo Wiki launched. With the help of dkpat (who created the new skin for Golden Sun Universe), he finalized the logo from my concept drawing, and it fared positively to my expectations.

If you are unfamiliar with the shapes around the "N Wiki" text, there's a purpose for that. The rectangles (red) come from the DS, and the circles (blue) come from the Wii. Both of these shapes represent the current generation Nintendo is in regarding their current consoles. Naw you just got Nintendo learn'd! --RAP 22:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, to me the old one represented a huge linkage of wikis. The new one seemed a bit overloaded with shapes. While gray is Nintendo's new color, to me it seems that those shapes don't work that well. The shapes in the background seem to be randomly placed and placed to densely. The old one makes me feel that this wiki is the center of NIWA; the new one makes it appear to be "just another wiki" (which could be what you're going for). It's not that the new logo is bad, but I still prefer the old one. I do find it interesting that my preference is the one which was done as a placeholder. --SnorlaxMonster 22:43, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Quoting

Hey SnorlaxMonster, do you know if there is a quote template? I'm working on this page, and I would like to quote something the webmaster said, but I don't know how to format it. Thanks. たかはりい 01:03, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't think that there is one, but I would recommenced doing it like this, using <blockquote> tags. And of course, if you quote you must reference. --SnorlaxMonster 01:06, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry our grammar is so "annoying". I was raised on it so that's the grammar I follow when editing. ★Jo the Marten★ಠ_ಠ 06:47, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

I get used to it most of the time on the wiki, but sometimes I come across things that I find very strange, this being an example. To me, it seemed to be a case of "an historic", where even though it doesn't start with a vowel sound, some people use "an" (of course, this could be another of example of the same problem). --SnorlaxMonster 06:51, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't use "an" before historic. The h is pronounced in American English, and I haven't heard it not pronounced in any other forms of English. ★Jo the Marten★ಠ_ಠ 06:55, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

edit after revision:I use to think that it didn't matter how the word is pronounced, if it didn't start with a vowel, it didn't get an. But I later learned the exceptions to the rule if the word has a vowel sound, like herb. *shrug* ★Jo the Marten★ಠ_ಠ 07:02, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

it is indeed a meme, but its extremely vulgar so we dont note it on the site. -- MAGNEDETH 01:31, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Reply

"said source is GCL isn't it?": Yes but I couldn't be sure which thread it was. I'd prefer that you ask me on my talk page for things like that instead of putting it on to the summary. I have no problem with it but it just makes it a little difficult to keep track of things!

My apologies by the way for not being able to make a quick response about your teru-sama question. All 29 of them in Gold/Silver came into the items pocket by default (this was when withdrawing them from the PC). There was no use option on any of them, so I'm going to have to do a little bit of research with the game RAM (with my Xploder and its Trainer tool), though IIMarckus answered another question about the Town Map function on Talk:Teru-sama. He is more experienced than me with RAM/ROM hacking. Maybe you should consider asking him about it, though its worth stressing that his last edit here was in February 2009. He may no longer be active on Bulbapedia.

Unfortunately, I do not own Pokémon Crystal, so I cannot test the teru-sama on Crystal. Hope that helps. --Chickasaurus 16:04, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, I put that in the edit summary because I was taking a guess. I didn't really need an answer. It confuses me that all of the Teru-samas (or is the plural Teru-sama?) are in the items pocket when Bulbapedia says that they can either be items or key items. It could be in Crystal, so I'll ask Marked +-+-+. I believe that there is no option to use them, but if you hack in a use button they perform these tasks (so it probably shouldn't really be mentioned outside of the trivia). I won't ask IIMarkus because he has been inactive for so long that I don't expect a response. --SnorlaxMonster 04:59, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

That's true, none of them have the USE option. I was going to try and force the "USE" function to load some teru-samas by RAM hacking and see which two used map and Poké-Flute functions. (plural using an [s] I would think because of teru-sama's literal translation "Lord Sunshine" and possible typo of teru-tama: "Sunshine Ball";) though as you already know, trading only one index number (0x73) to Crystal gives an equivalent item of GS Ball, basically because they come up for the data for empty placeholder items which the programmers could overwrite (the empty item pointer) if they wanted to add more items. --Chickasaurus 14:47, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: Ruby Box

Vandalism? Hardly. I was just being creative. Since when is that considered a violation? Humph, after all, who on Earth is interested in reading about the staff of Pokemon Ruby Box whatever anyway? You are coming at me like a huge control freak, being all like "You are breaking the rules" and stuff... Try evolving from Munchlax and then talk to me again. --Duckdodgers95 12:05, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

It may be that someone is doing a school report on Pokémon Box and needs to know who the staff is. Regardless, it is Pokémon information and needs to be included. If you want to be creative, take it to your userpage. And it is my job to alert you that you are breaking the rules as a Junior Administrator. Oh, and I've already evolved from Munchlax. --SnorlaxMonster 12:11, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Talking about a school report... Did you think a lot before posting that epic failure of an example genius? You seem more like a "Baby Administrator" to me. Are you going to get your promotion by annoying other people? Leave me the hell alone. --Duckdodgers95 12:47, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to direct you to the code of conduct. I apologize if my messages appeared to attempt to annoy you. As for a better example: someone sees another game and believes that it draws inspiration from Pokémon Box, so they compare the staff of the other game to that of Pokémon Box, and find that several staff members worked on both games. --SnorlaxMonster 12:59, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Type-enhancing items

Hi SnorlaxMonster, I just wanted to ask if this template can be approved. It's a good template for pages like this. Thank You!--KayKay|Chat to me! 01:00, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I think it is a good idea, I'll approve it. However, I would prefer that you use the bagsprite of a plate rather than the underground sprite, as I suggested on the talk page. --SnorlaxMonster 01:37, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Shelly edit

I put that none of Shelly's Pokémon in the anime evolved onscreen as trivia. However, it got erased and the reason why it was erased was the same as the erased trivia. I don't get it. PattyMan 01:01, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

It said that none of her Pokémon evolved onscreen in the anime. However, none of her Pokémon evolved offscreen in the anime either. --SnorlaxMonster 01:04, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh. So it is not known if these Pokémon were caught in the bases they are in or came from their pre-evolution. An example would be Gary's Electivire where it was introduced as an Electivire and was not explained if he caught an Elekid or Electabuzz first and then evolved it to the final stage (which was actually explained for Paul's without the item mentioned for evolution). PattyMan 01:36, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Phione

What the hell do you mean, "Pokémon.com's mailbag was once asked if Phione was legendary, to which the answer was initially no, but was quickly changed to no;"?? Is there a hidden message?--Kirochi 13:08, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Not about Phione anymore. Is the new way I handled my fake trainer class acceptable (besides the fact that I did too much userspace modifications today, which wouldn't have happened if I had done it firstly)?--KIROCHI)(talk) 20:46, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Orly?

Uh, aside from the haircut and tattoos, they wear the exact same clothes and have blue eyes, blonde hair, muscles, intended to please American audiences, THEY CAN SONIC BOOM!!! Now all we need is for the battle theme for Lt. Surge to be this. --Havoc48 02:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

These kind of things are generally considered opinions and removed. They are both based on stereotypical American soldiers, not each other. --SnorlaxMonster 02:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Even so, Guile was the one that made it famous in video games... but, alright. --Havoc48 02:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: Greek Translations

Oh, so that was the guy who translated all the Pkmn moves before me! I've got to admit it; he has done a pretty good job. Now, as for your...seemingly reasonable concern, you may relax. Back when the games FireRed and LeafGreen were published in my country, they came with some sort of guide to the game, which was in Greek. The generation I,II,III abilities I translated derive from it. However, when it comes to generation IV..., well you get the picture. I did not translate any moves or abilities from gen. V. Though I did correct the unofficial Greek names given to a few moves. --OminousWind 18:49, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Pikachu in Huin City???

Hey Snor, I remember an official saying that no Pokémon from previous generations will appear in the BW games (including wild encounter or in any other way) till we get the Nation dex, right? However in the Huin City (2nd last building at the end of the city), there's a person standing with a Pikachu (the only Pokemon from previous generation that I've noticed in the entire game; off course, before national dex). Isn't it weird? May be worth a trivia line. What do you say? ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 11:15, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Cool, I'll get the image from Black version (haven't memorized the English names yet ;P). I'll add the trivia in the article but it would be nice if you check it after I add it since my English suck. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 13:35, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Underwater

I thought the same thing, but if you look again, it's a page for the underwater routes found specifically in Hoenn (like how there are pages for the individual routes, etc.), not a generic Underwater page. ★Jo the Marten★ಠ_ಠ 11:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Are the locations in Unova explicitly called "underwater"? If so, either that page should be moved back to Underwater (Hoenn), or it should be a joint page for both. --SnorlaxMonster 11:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I haven't played Black or White so I'm not sure what they're called. But I agree with you that if this is the case they should either be merged or have separate pages. ★Jo the Marten★ಠ_ಠ 11:41, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
